Same here! Flat chested and wasn’t interested in the reconstruction. I am turning 47 this April. Just a little tip, What helped after surgery is that mastectomy pillow I got to hug and protect the site. I got one online. I have a dog who never leaves my side. Also, my sister sewed inside right pockets on my old button up shirts so I can put the JP drain in.

Thank you for the tips! Helps to hear what has worked you! My sister sews, too, so I'll have to keep that in mind.
